A good thriller with an interesting ending, but it has some portions where it seems like Kevin Costner's character is going back and forth between the computer (that takes hours/days to generate an image) without enough happening. It also takes a while to get going. I had the thought that it wasn't the movie I thought it was, but it eventually takes off. As an aside, the assassins have the worst running technique I've ever seen. It seems like they didn't have to run in the audition.

A decent drama about a father and two sons dealing with their mother's passing. It almost feels more like a play with the story arc it has. There aren't really the peaks and troughs you'd find in a great movie here. I felt like a couple of the actions of the characters weren't how most people would act. The older child seems intelligent but then he chooses to hang from a branch over a cliff... The youngest child is annoying and the ending isn't too surprising.

A good album that gets more melodic and better as it progresses. Best Tracks: Hero, Life Music, Heat of the Moment, Outside In, Connections, All I Want

Trap House Mechi is another generic dime a dozen expressionless trap rapper who barely opens his mouth to rap. Snoop Dogg is the only bearable aspect of the first two tracks. 'The East Siders' is a standard instrumental by Rick Rock. 'Crank Me Up.' is T-Pain trying to give us a song to get us amped up. It's okay. And then Choc gives us an R&B slowjam from her 2020 album, '21' that is probably the best thing here. It doesn't sound like a lot of love went into the creation of this.

On the first listen, I was thinking that this was just generic bland pop/R&B, but after a second and third spin, I can't deny some of the catchy moments it possesses. 'Heartbeat' has a good hook. "Stacy" feels different than everything else here with somewhat of a dark tone. The female vocals singing "goodbye" make the final song. It's amazing how one little touch can improve a song so much. The album is not great by any means, and as it's almost entirely produced by J.R. Rotem I'd expect more (it sounds more like a 2007-2008 album), but there are some likeable songs. Best Tracks: Replay, So Big, OK, Heartbeat, Goodbye
